Harbor Springs Area Trail Report – 01/19

HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club​ – 01/19

We had a great turnout for the 60th Annual Moose Jaw Safari! We had roughly 160 sleds leave from the groomer barn & picked up multiple groups along the way. Thank you to this years trail boss Rob Parson for leading the way!

The trails are getting thin in some areas but are still rideable, the forecast is showing 8” between today & Wednesday! Almost all of our trails were groomed between yesterday morning & last night. We will be out on the grade tonight running Pellston to Alanson, there’s not enough snow to go any further north.

Traverse City Area Trail Report – 01/19

TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club >> 01/19

Just rolling the snow!!! Groomer Mark and groomer Jeff got back out on the trails last night. Both reported that the trails have good areas and thin/snirty areas. Overall they rated them as good. Hopefully, we can get some lake effect with this cold weather. Keep doing those snow dances. Remember, Ride Right, Ride Safe, Ride Sober.

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club >> And with the wind, down come the tree's! A group of members went out today to take care of the downed tree's on the South and West trails.
There is still more that needs to be completed, so be aware if you are out riding. Special thanks to Paul, David, Pat, Steve and Jeff for volunteering their time. Thanks to the group of riders coming from Kingsley that helped out with one of the tree's. Also, thanks to the gentleman from Fife Lake that came with a large chain saws for a big tree that had fallen there. It takes everyone lending a hand to keep these trails safe. The trails are being panned and the groomer drivers are reporting numerous water holes due to the rain we received prior to the snow. Be careful out there. Remember, Ride Right, Ride Safe, Ride Sober. #traversecity #snowphotos
